Seeing Corey from Trivium do the windmill and then pretty much all of Amon Amarth do it is the reason I first grew my hair out. I miss it and regret terribly cutting it.
I like how Suicide Silence said the worst move was crab stance headbanding. Pretty sure Mitch did that a couple of times. Especially in one of their music videos he did that pretty much the whole time
when mitch had the bird thing bobbing up and down that was pretty cool because all the band is synchronized. But behemoths just standing there looking intimidating is the coolest thing i have ever seen
I like Adam D's girly running, no one else has the balls to do that. And I guess no one else can pull that off, imagine Cannibal Corpse doing that shit :D
-"I'm more metal than you" -"No, i'm more metal than you" "Asking Alexandria is not metal" please tell me at which point every metal elitist is not close minded...
I saw Trivium @ Soundwave Melbourne Australia this year for the first time & I really felt sorry for Corey's neck; thought he was gonna turn into a helicopter & take off cause he was windmilling so hard. That's commitment.
I love how the guy from Dying Fetus knocks the standing box and then Phil Bozeman comes on right after. Phil abuses the fuck out of the standing box since he's not that tall.
Anyone else think the Till Hammer is one of the best? I've been in such a Rammstein mood lately and I love when Till does it, especially with both hands at once.
I saw Suicide Silence live a few years back and me and my friends were just laughing at the singer's swan dance thing he was doing. That one dude called it Jesus on the scarecrow cross... to us it's the swan dance.
I think its funny how trey from dying feftus makes fun of the whole standing on a box thing and right after they talk to phil from whitechapel and he stands on a ego box haha
Crabcore is awesome!!!!! If i would have to say what the best crabcore move is my choice would probably be the crabhammer(fyi, its when the guitarist raises his guitar above his head and slams it down like a boss).
im fine with those bands, i listen to suicide silence's first album and i liked whitechapel when i unintentionally saw them live at mayhem fest, and i bought a within the ruins cd for a friend as a birthday gift a few years ago and we listened to it, i thought it was pretty cool with memorable songs like ataxia (sorry if its spelled wrong) i just dont like the attitude that comes with the music mostly from fans who literally think theyre superior over everyone else because they listen to atr
Metal is full of elitists who think they "know" what "real metal" is. Music is interpreted differently by different people. Some people like death metal and some people like deathcore. Both of those genres can be called "real metal" as they are both genres of metal, whether you like it or not.
It's not so much what you do, but how you do it. Fans can smell artificial behaviour. A well timed guitar spin can add to the show. Some can really pull it off to start instantly playing after the swing and emphasize a bit they're playing. If it is out of context, it's just a cheap move. It has to be planted at the right time. In the end it's just about if you can pull it off and that you mean the shit you do. Everyone looks stupid if they try a bad jump kick. All those tricks are like fireworks. If it's timed well with music and the other effects, it rocks. What i find worst above anything is that bands that surely feel that they don't have the audience specifically ask for a freakin circle moshpit. You either have the people fired up and they already go apeshit and you just go for it or you don't. It's like making a big pause after a mediocre joke so people might clap to fill the void. Another thing...stupid mic grabbing "techniques" and cupping the mike (which also shows you don't know shit about your instrument as a singer) Oh and constant air guitar from the singer (looking at you Chuck Billy...nothing against him personally)
I think people forgot that it's called "headbang" and not "hairbang" for one only fuckin' reason : it's your HEAD that is banging, so you don't need to have long hair.
The synchronized windmill is the best
this ^
Seeing Corey from Trivium do the windmill and then pretty much all of Amon Amarth do it is the reason I first grew my hair out. I miss it and regret terribly cutting it.
Me fucking too dude
"The crustacean bounce." Good job Paolo
The absolute best stage move is the Seth Putnam. Run around stage doing flips and jumping around while screeching and generally going apeshit.
Pantera stage performance pretty sums-up all the best stage moves for me.
The dimbag strut....
Came here to say that the best is Dimebag pointing at the camera mid solo.
I like how Suicide Silence said the worst move was crab stance headbanding. Pretty sure Mitch did that a couple of times. Especially in one of their music videos he did that pretty much the whole time
He did what I like to call "spidercore." Just crabcore with arms out
Paolo describing the running thing, amazing! Trivium are the best!!
I think they were referring to when scene bands do it
The 90's upper body headbang where you scrape your feet like you just stepped in dog shit is always good for a chuckle.
when mitch had the bird thing bobbing up and down that was pretty cool because all the band is synchronized. But behemoths just standing there looking intimidating is the coolest thing i have ever seen
5:26 do the Kerry King, just look tough as shit hahaha
Lmao "Standing Still." That was great
RIP Mitch!
I like Adam D's girly running, no one else has the balls to do that. And I guess no one else can pull that off, imagine Cannibal Corpse doing that shit :D
haha the closet you'll get is seeing Serpentine Dominion live
I feel like they described the band Chelsea Grin completely when talking about all of the worst moves.
Sad seeing Mitch Lucker here. RIP
-"I'm more metal than you"
-"No, i'm more metal than you"
"Asking Alexandria is not metal"
please tell me at which point every metal elitist is not close minded...
Paolo is a badass "I don't have to headbang motherfucker"
Is that Tre Xavier from GearGods @4:18?
Rip Mitch Lucker
I know its not metal but I love Angus Young's skip step thing.
rip mitch
but what does Corey Taylor think?
3:32 Joy division .. Unknown Pleasures .. good shirt ..
2:15 Damn I can't even look at stuff like that without realizing Mitch isn't here anymore :'(
I saw Trivium @ Soundwave Melbourne Australia this year for the first time & I really felt sorry for Corey's neck; thought he was gonna turn into a helicopter & take off cause he was windmilling so hard. That's commitment.
Best one is choking out a fan who came on stage with the chord of the microphone while sitting on his back
And somehow managing to stay on time with your singing regardless.
Call me cheesy, but the David Lee Roth kick is #1 in my book
How is it that the Till Hammer was never mentioned for best move. That shit it epic.
mitch's stomp is pretty fucking cool im surprised he didnt mention that
im pretty positive the guitar spin with the hips swaying thing is from school of rock lol the guitarist who replaces jack black does it haha
someone explain to me what a pozzy jump is, im intrigued
I've never seen the one they're talking about though the running in place, link me a vid of a band doing it.
4:51 Synchronized Circle Headbanging! Of course!!!
oh i see what you were saying, yeah dropping a guitar to G# and chugging the open string gets pretty generic
Corey Taylor does the stand on the box and foot on the monitor.
Fleshgod Apocalypse has their head band game fucking mastered
The dude in the middle up front from Oceano looks like Dustin Diamond from Saved by the Bell!!!!
I'm surprised no one said stomping. I personally love that. Especially if you pull what Mitch did and bust through a stage. Lmfao.
And first stomp you saw SS epic.
^So which moves are left to do which don´t "suck"? :D
Just standing there.
Agreed...the best is the windmill headbang
I love how the guy from Dying Fetus knocks the standing box and then Phil Bozeman comes on right after. Phil abuses the fuck out of the standing box since he's not that tall.
Which is fine. When you're the vocalist, you kind of want to make yourself stand out.
Anyone else think the Till Hammer is one of the best? I've been in such a Rammstein mood lately and I love when Till does it, especially with both hands at once.
2:03
r.i.p. mitch ):
R.I.P Mitch
I saw Suicide Silence live a few years back and me and my friends were just laughing at the singer's swan dance thing he was doing. That one dude called it Jesus on the scarecrow cross... to us it's the swan dance.
I guess, just watching Attack, Attack gives you the best idea of the best and worst moves at the same time.
Lol Paulo and Corey explained it the best. Crab bonce and Scissor runs lol!!
I think his high voice actually makes that more badass
The guy from Whitechapel shouldn't be talking about what should be in metal.
1:49 is that eddie :O
+Ass milk Yes
That laugh at 4:55 though..
Go at it Amon Amarth style.
Worst is the running in place thing that all the scene crabcore bands used to do. It was even worse than the crabcore pose itself.
I think its funny how trey from dying feftus makes fun of the whole standing on a box thing and right after they talk to phil from whitechapel and he stands on a ego box haha
Cephalic Carnage t-shirt. F yeah!
Windmill headbang will forever be the best stage move in existence
3:40...looking at you Trujillo
I love how several of these are the crabcore moves... 😂 I approve this 100%
The Robert Trujillo crabwalk is the best
abbath's crab walk is the best !
"huh a lot of people bringing up the crabcore thing" checks the year the video is from "oh that's why"
He head circle whip thing
Everything Frank Bello, from Anthrax, does on stage.
Crabcore is awesome!!!!! If i would have to say what the best crabcore move is my choice would probably be the crabhammer(fyi, its when the guitarist raises his guitar above his head and slams it down like a boss).
I thought that was called the Talladega Bench Press? But either way, it's pretty awesome
Patrick star would be like, "Kicking! I wanna to do some kicking!"
MITCH!!!! Eddie talks about mitch @ 4:45 :(
i meant adtr*
the guys in fleshgod apocalypse are so fucking cool
The fact that Fleshgod know what crabcore is, is pretty awesome.
I fucking love Phil Bozeman... c':
so ironic that mitch didnt mention the stomp
thanks
im fine with those bands, i listen to suicide silence's first album and i liked whitechapel when i unintentionally saw them live at mayhem fest, and i bought a within the ruins cd for a friend as a birthday gift a few years ago and we listened to it, i thought it was pretty cool with memorable songs like ataxia (sorry if its spelled wrong) i just dont like the attitude that comes with the music mostly from fans who literally think theyre superior over everyone else because they listen to atr
Scott Ian's stomp is the best stage move of all time imo.
bro, watch an Iron Maiden show. there's a lot of guitar spinning there
There's also a lot of foot resting on monitors (Steve Harris).
The best stage move is...
The axe chop-Suffocation
Boom
3:01 - Is that a Joy Division shirt???
your name is fitting
I was like YESSS when I saw Fleshgod Apocalypse in this video lol. And the windmill is the best move!
The best, when Phil Anselmo wraps the microphone around his neck and nods along with folded arms.
Metal is full of elitists who think they "know" what "real metal" is. Music is interpreted differently by different people. Some people like death metal and some people like deathcore. Both of those genres can be called "real metal" as they are both genres of metal, whether you like it or not.
Hell yeah Richie Kotzen has great moves
No body gave credit to "The Stomp".
hate the shoulder move one.
"closed minded teenagers" oh the irony
I'd have to agree with Ryan Knight. The kick could be the best metal stage move, I mean, Yngwie Malmsteen did it, and no gets more metal than Yngwie.
It's not so much what you do, but how you do it.
Fans can smell artificial behaviour.
A well timed guitar spin can add to the show.
Some can really pull it off to start instantly playing after the swing and emphasize a bit they're playing.

Oh and constant air guitar from the singer (looking at you Chuck Billy...nothing against him personally)
Im completely opposite of what their thinking!!! Dang! ADTR, BMTH, and AttackAttack would be so mad!
1:40 who dose that? I SEE STARS
Most iconic is still the Angus Young
I think people forgot that it's called "headbang" and not "hairbang" for one only fuckin' reason : it's your HEAD that is banging, so you don't need to have long hair.
Any form of hardcore dancing
Anything Rob Trujillo does
5:49 "i make up for not having hair by throwing myself into poles everyday"
*Into whiplash
Sasha Herman you didnt get it lol
damn right.
2:15 Oh you mean like your lead singer? Hm.
I don't even really listen to them but the guys from Suicide Silence do the best windmill.
daaaaamn, eddie and mitch on the same video :v
